Health
Please discuss your travel plans and health with your own medical doctor and/or consult the Centers for Disease Control for information on recommended preparations for the country/countries you are visiting. (I usually get my annual check up before each trip to Asia and ask my doctor for prescriptions for useful medications such as Cypro (an antibiotic) and Lomotil (for diarrhea). We recommend you are up-to-date on your vaccinations such as tetanus. Immunizations against Hepatitis A and H1N1 are highly recommended. We will be traveling in major urban areas with international health facilities should any problem arise. Bring your regular medications with you on the plane in your carry-on, but also bring the generic name of each product. Extra contacts or glasses are also a good idea."
Visas
Everyone entering and leaving China with the group will be on a group visa. Our travel agent only needed a clean signed copy of your passport to get this and NCTA picks up the cost. Those staying in Asia will get individual visas and we will need their passport to get this.
